Ansar Bangla-8

Ansar Bangla-8 is an Islamic fundamentalist terrorist group from Bangladesh that was responsible, in part, for the murder of Bangladeshi blogger Ananta Bijoy Das on 12 May 2015.

History
Ansar Bangla-8 owned a Twitter account, and on 12 May 2015, they cheerfully stated that they had killed the "kuffar" Ananta Bijoy Das, who was a secularist blogger that preached for the banning of all Islamist political parties in Bangladesh and the execution of convicted war criminals. Ansar Bangla-8 later issued a statement to journalists, asking them to credit al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) for the attack. However, they posted graphic pictures of the dead body of Bijoy and many other Bangladeshi journalists on social media.
